IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
This appliance has a serial number located on the rear panel.
Please record the model and serial number and retain them for
your records.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1Read these instructions.
2Keep these instructions.
3Heed all warnings.
4Follow all instructions.
5Do not use this apparatus near to any water.
6Clean only with dry cloth.
7Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
8Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or ground-
ing-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provid-
ed for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufac-
turer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When
a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
• Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
• Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the apparatus.
• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a
book case or similar unit.
• The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the
AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON
position.
• The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC
outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord plug at any
time.
• The main plug is used as the disconnect device, the discon-
nect device shall remain readily operable.
• If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or
installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire
or excessive heat.
• Caution should be taken when using earphones or head-
phones with the product because excessive sound pressure
(volume) from earphones or head- phones can cause hearing
loss.

INTRODUCTION
XS DESIGN
The unique design of our flagship speaker is based on
ultra-rigid, curved and modular panels. These panels are
exclusively hand-crafted in Italy by the most skilled
cabinet-maker.
The high-dampened cabinet is reinforced with a doubled
internal structure and with external wooden multilayer
panels to control resonances and improve the audio
performance. The cabinets conveniently separate the
basses and the mid/highs for a perfect tuning and are
coupled with a 3mm aluminium board to increase the
rigidity of the entire structure even further.
The woofers are installed in a vented cabinet while the
mid/highs are housed in sealed chambers in the upper
cabinet. The upper cabinet also features a second open
chamber with a massive grille made of solid aluminium to
maximize rigidity and reduce internal reflections at the
same time.
The loudspeaker features an integrated heavy-duty stand
made of steel with our innovative hidden adjustable
spikes.
TWEETER
For this loudspeaker we developed a 28 mm ultra-
linear tweeter with an extra-thin and soft silk dome
powered by a neodymium magnet featuring an
aluminium dampening elliptical rear chamber.
This tweeter provides low frequency resonance,
minimal harmonic distortion and an exceptional
musicality making it a real high-quality and High-End
acoustic transducer.
MIDRANGES
The upper cabinet houses two 150mm ultra-linear drivers
that feature high mass phase plugs and Nextel treated
paper cones to reach high rigidity and fast natural audio
response.
Adaptive rubber surrounds provide an ideal match to the
cone over the total frequency range.
The extra large magnet system with long and lightweight
CCAW voice coil allows perfect coil excursion and low
distortion due to excellent transient response.
Solid copper rings are mounted above and below the T-
shaped pole piece to reduce non-linear and modulation
distortions and to increase the overload margin.
The driver is completed by an extremely stiff and stable
skeleton in aluminium/magnesium to avoid airflow noises
and to increase rigidity and lightness.

INTRODUCTION
WOOFERS
The XS-85 speakers feature two 220mm ultra-linear slightly
horn loaded, light drivers with 18gm mass with Nextel
treated paper producing a fast natural audio response in
low frequencies.
The bass drivers feature a large magnet design with
bumped back-plate: the large and dampened platform at
the back improves stiffness while the extra-long and light
weight CCAW voice coil allows extreme coil excursion, low
distortion and excellent transient response.
Giant copper rings mounted above and below the T-shaped
pole piece reduce distortion for better overload margin.
High mass phase plugs reduce compression due to
temperature variations in the voice coil.
Long-term power handling is increased to eliminate
resonances from the cavity inside the voice coil former.
CROSSOVER
The passive Crossover Low-High Dual-Slope with cuts
at 200Hz & 2200Hz is a resistive design that
enables ultra-linear load to handle any sort of
amplification without stressing the power supply,
even at a nominal impedance of 4Ω.
The sophisticated triple crossover network, with
summing midrange multi-slope design, perfectly
integrates the drivers of the array and with anti-
resonance thick glass-fibre boards rewards the
listener with a close field natural audio experience.
Air winding, hand-made coils and selected audio
grade capacitors and exclusive graphite custom GN
resistors complete one of the best crossovers
available today.
